THE copper market bids far for 6 rise under the existing oircdmstances IF which the Calumet S Hecia Lake Superior Company IS placed.

 The Calumet k HeclR have con- trolled :. the price ot copper for several years. Three years ago they felt the force of large copper production in Arizona and other Ter itorIes, and having superior facilities for production, they gradually re- duced the price of that metal tc it's present price. The smaller means of the young companies and sheir poorer shipping facilities placed them abso- utely st the mercy ot this large com pRny, sud the mines in nearly every district elsewhere except the Arizo- na Copper Company ct Clifton, which is sustained by English ospi- tail were compelled 10 shut down altogether. IT the misfortune which has just overtaken the Hecla & Calumet Company. should result in enabling the Arizona copper mlues to secure better market and high CT price for theI- metal than could be secured as long Is the former com rany was in s position 10 hog both, we shall not feel disposed io shed many tears.

Wholesale Cruelty to Animals.

We suppose that no winter passes with out causing shudder in the breasts of all right minded people when they read in tue newspapers that thousands of cattle have perished from starvation on the wes sern plains. This particular form of cruelty tO animals has seemed to be and probably is beyond the reach of law and of local public OpinOn. Seyerthless the recent national convention of humane societies at Pittsburg took the matter up and delivered their opinions upon it in very proper terms. They say truly that nobody has q moral right to bring into existence a greater number of cattle than he can reasonably expec. to find food and some kind of shelter for in winter Yet the practice is to estimate for a certain percentage of loss by lingering torture and then trust to the chances of getting through the winter with better showing than the estimate. This is cruelty to animals reduced to system. Acts which would be severely punished if committed in the older states and visited with loss of social consideration are the principal trade and calling of large territories. The suggestion of the association was that since the ranges are mostly on public lands. unsettled by the emigrant, and still less under the direct and immediate con- trOl of congress, it should be made unlaw- ful for any one to range cattle on public lands without making provision for them in winter by food and shelter.-New York Evening Post.

CHINA's GREAT WALL. A MYTH.
Surprising Statement Mndc by n Frcncl,
Missionary.
(From the London Times

From the London Timcs.)
Abbe Larrieu, formerly missionary
to China, hos published n pNmpulCt
| (Parls, LerouX,) on tho Great W,u O.
China, to demonstrate that this structure
does not exist and has never existed.
The popular belief is that this wal!
stretches for about eight hundred
Leagues across China, from the sea 10
the province of Kan-Su. That it is
wholly constructed Of cut stone, and il
thirty cubits high by twelve broad.
1t ls believed to run straight on regard
less OF obstacles. going down valleys and
up mountains, without break, except
such rs timo has made, along it's Whole
course. This notion originated with o
Jesuit named Martini, who visited China
about lG5O, and his description was fol
loved by subsequent writer's. NJ. Lar
riou has lived for several years under
what would have been the shudow Of The
Great Wall had there been one; he has
studied the writings Of recent writer's
especially 3hbo Huc-Mllo have crossed
the line of tie alleged wall in various
places, he has Likewise studied tho
Chinese history of the subject, and bis
conclusions are as follows: Cd The term
"Great Wall" is at tho bottom of all tho
Misunderstanding and it comes from
the Chinese expression, "thc wall Of the
ten Thousand liz (2) as described by
Martini and other writer's who have
copied him, this wall does not and never
did exist; (3) q Chinese Emperor un-
doubtedly did conceive the idea Of n
great wall from tho Gulf of Liao-Long
on the east to Kan-Su on the west, and
this, though never realized, had q be-
ginning; l4) oil along tho proposed line
o' the wall square towers Of earth, or o {
earth faced with brick, were constructed
at considerable distances from each 9th
er, but these were mover joined together
by any wall az was originally intended.
In some Of the detilcs along tho route
there are walls, but these we're intended
to close these particular passages, or
they are merely the walls of villages,
and are not parts of n larger scheme
Hence the only part Of the scheme of
the Great Wall carried out was the con-
struction Of these scattered towers, the
rest mover went beyond the brain that
conceived it; it was never moro than u
fancy, and it is now myth. This huge
Chinese wall, says Able Larriou, in q
huge Chinese lie, and as for the million
soldiers which wIro said to guard it night
and day, they are myths likewise. The
alleged Great Wall is n favorite excur
sion for Europeans visiting Pekiu, nnd
such question as whether it exist Mt all
or not should be an easy one to sctt.,
definitely.
